My mum was thrilled to bits when we told her we were preg at 6 weeks - as were my siblings (sister screamed when i showed her the test and began to cry!!!) - but then they too had a fair idea we were TTC.

DH's family were also excited - very shocked as they had no idea we were even close to TTC - and did the whole crying thing which was lovely. But a few days later MIL made this big scene saying to us all that she hadn't stopped crying for days (i am thinking - sweet but a bit over the top) cause she wished her own mother (who passed away 10yrs ago) was still alive to share it. I definately think it was lovely that she felt that way but i have to admit it did put a damper on it cause her happiness was so short lived and just turned into sadness.

Oh well! - We did embrace all the other excitement we were given from our friends and other family members and it truly was a wonderful time in our lives being able to share such special news!!!!!!!!!!!
